Quick question.
In the UK, we have Michael Johnson commentating or presenting on almost all track and field events and he's been pretty predominant on the BBC this, and previous years.
Surely for such a massive American star, he should be on US telly instead? Perhaps he's not as well liked over the pond in his own country?
Not that i'm complaining, I think he's great.

Because its The BBC.
If it's any consolation, neither USA or Russia are playing like Poland or Brazil usually do, so neither is likely to even get to the final (and I know, USA beat Brazil several days ago).

What does it even matter the US lost? They've already qualified.
Were our starters even playing? I've not been watching.

NBC does not need old athletes, they got Ryan Seacrest
We'll see. As you said, we beat Brazil a few days ago. It's all about momentum (which the USA just lost)

Because if Brazil wins then Brazil tops the group and USA has a tougher road to the final.

LOL USA scored 4 points in the final set from Russian service errors.
Isn't that a racehorse?
I'd speculate it's just NBC incompetence that they couldn't get him. He's very well liked in the US.
don't be "embarresed", the USA is only one medal behind China and one up on gold. All other countries will bow before our massive penises before the end (except China, perhaps)
ultimately this is the only score anybody remembers in the end >
Serena Williams won Gold in the Women's Singles in emphatic fashion.
Because BBC coverage is god tier and he knows it.

He's only counting gold that men won outside of Swimming.

US field hockey women are huge underdogs and they are tied with New Zealand after the first half.
Oh sorry I missed that. No harm in mentioning Serena's dominant win again though in any case. That was a sight to behold.

Mark Cavendish, Ian Thorpe and Michael Johnson are great, and the BBC have pulled blinders in getting them (yes, I'm aware that Johnson has been with the beeb for a while)

millenium stadium looking epic, roof closed, full house...well done Wales for supporting Team GB so well.
i know what he's doing; it's just nobody gives a shit about his logic. medal count is all that matters to the world, and our penises are fuckin' gargantuan
